In this unique retreat experience, through mindful riding and groundwork with horses, you will have the space and guidance to reconnect with yourself in the nourishing environment of an authentic guest ranch. The magical energy of horses will give you the opportunity to heal, refresh, and reawaken your heart to the wonderment of life.
Horses have long been known for their energy and intuition. These beautiful creatures are becoming recognized for their ability to augment healing, health, leadership, and empowerment.
Horses offer an honest reflection to your whole being, including your subconscious. They provide authentic feedback of where you stand within yourself and in relationship to others. They can read if you are misaligned with your truth. This allows the root cause of disconnection to shine through, allowing you to reconnect and heal.
You will be nourished physically and spiritually from the moment of your arrival to your departure. Each day will include mindful movement, experiential exercises with horses, horseback riding, ranch life relaxation, delicious ranch cuisine, and more, all in delightful company.
“The four days spent at the CM Ranch Mindful Equine Experience under the guidance of Jan Hoath was life changing, and set me on a new positive life trajectory. I’ve attended many mindfulness, meditation programs over the years but the combination of the location, horses, and the connection to both leaders and the other amazing women attending was such a powerful experience. It provided me the tools and desire to bring JOY back to my every day life.”
-Jen J.
“A wholly profound experience. I felt empowered by what I learned & felt the love & safety of the herd all around me! I can live the rest of my life like this!”
-Jennifer L.

Equine Guided Empowerment® Facilitator, Soleiana AbernathySoleiana Abernathy was born a wild mare into a cattle ranching family, growing up with a deep connection to the land, animals, and the untamed spirit of the West. In an unstable home environment, she learned early how to make herself small in order to stay safe and survive. Through those difficult years, horses became her refuge—steady, intuitive companions who carried her through life’s hardest moments and offered a sense of safety, trust, and connection.
This lived experience became the foundation of Soleiana’s passion for the profound relationship between humans and horses. In 2022, she completed Cassandra Ogier’s The Reflective Horse® Mastery Program in Equine Guided Empowerment® and Somatic Reprogramming®. In 2023, she worked with attachment specialist Duey Freeman to deepen her understanding of developmental trauma, attachment wounds, and the unique role horses play in healing relational and emotional patterns.
It is Soleiana’s life pursuit to understand why horses are such powerful partners in human healing and transformation. She believes horses guide us back to authenticity, instinctual wisdom, and personal freedom. Her work centers on helping individuals reconnect with themselves through self-discovery, embodied awareness, and the healing presence of horses.
